What is strange about this case is that in many states, including Florida, you lose your right to vote if you are a convicted felon and must petition the state to get your civil rights back, So while Mr. Jordon Haskins may be able to run for Office he can't vote for himself. The true irony here is that it is the Republicans who do not want repeal of any laws prohibiting ex-felons from voting.

In a lot of states you have to be a registered voter to file nominating petitions to appear on the primary ballot.

Oh, indeed it can. Hang on to your hat, we are starting another election cycle.

I can hardly wait for the debates to start. Hope The-Rent's-Too-Damn-High guy shows up again.

Then there's Rush Limbaugh's lessons on morality. Always a good time.

Anthony Weiner was not re-elected after his scandal broke. He ran again but did not win.
